Senior/Principal AI/ML Computational Scientist

About the role

The Digital Pathology group within Translational Safety is seeking a talented PhD-level senior AI/ML computational scientist to join our team. We develop computational solutions to biological questions posed by pathologists and toxicologists, focusing on image analysis, machine learning, and deep learning approaches for digital pathology and related imaging data.

Responsibilities

• Developing and applying computational image-analysis methods and pipelines using classical image processing, machine learning, and deep learning approaches.
• Analyzing digital pathology and related imaging datasets to extract quantitative features, generate interpretable results, and support biologically relevant conclusions.
• Collaborating closely with pathologists, toxicologists, and cross-functional scientists to understand project goals, design analytical strategies, and interpret findings in biological context.
• Contributing to the development of reusable, well-documented computational workflows and research tools.
• Performing data quality assessment, statistical analyses, and data visualization to support scientific decision-making.
• Evaluating and implementing emerging computational approaches relevant to digital pathology and image analysis.
• Communicating results clearly through presentations, written summaries, and discussions with technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Requirements

• PhD in biomedical engineering, bioengineering, computer science, computational biology, bioinformatics, data science, statistics, computer vision, image analysis, or a related quantitative discipline.
• Strong background in image analysis, computer vision, machine learning, and deep learning.
• Proficiency in Python for scientific computing and data analysis.
• Experience with at least one deep learning framework such as PyTorch or TensorFlow.
• Demonstrated ability to develop and implement computational methods or pipelines for image-based data analysis.
• Strong quantitative, analytical, and problem-solving skills.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, and the ability to work effectively in cross-disciplinary teams.
• Interest in applying computational approaches to biomedical imaging and translational safety questions.

Qualifications

• Senior Scientist level (0-2 years) or Principal Scientist (3+ years of experience).

Skills

• Experience with digital pathology, whole-slide image analysis, histology, microscopy, or other biomedical imaging data.
• Experience with statistical analysis and data visualization.
• Familiarity with version control and collaborative software development practices.
• Familiarity with open-source or commercial image-analysis tools such as OpenSlide, QuPath, HALO, Visiopharm, or related platforms.
• Experience working in high-performance computing or cloud computing environments.
• Experience curating, organizing, or preparing image datasets for model development.
• Experience working in collaborative research environments involving both computational and experimental scientists.
